OPTI-POP TOP
This tank top is designed as an easy, generous layer perfect for the in-between days when the season begins to warm but the air still carries a hint of coolness. Its relaxed shape makes it ideal for slipping on over other layers, adding both comfort, versatility and colour as the motif radiates around the garment in every direction.
